Title: In breakers yard
Post by a900one on Oct 26^th, 2013, 4:42pm

Found this on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/austin-cambridge-a60-/181244194995?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a32fef0b3 Look at the last pic ;D. If anyone is looking for parts in that neck of the woods.

Well spotted :)

I'll seriously never understand banger racers, especially with an old car like that Austin - that's gotta be a pre-'69 and it looks so straight and rust free for the age, it's a bloody crying shame. Surely even the bare shell would be valuable to someone to cut bits out of to restore another car... :-/

I just don't understand what makes those guys tick, sorry :-/

I know what you mean, I can never go to a banger race, so many historic cars being trashed. >:( I had a morris oxford, same car just a different badge, in the 70s. To most people a car is just a tool to get from a to b.
